## Abstract A method of wind analysis widely used in low latitudes is shown to be basically unsound, using the results of another method of analysis. It is shown that analogy may usefully be drawn between middleβlatitude and equatorial airflow. A suggestion for the use of pressure data near the equ

Fabry-Perot interferometric (FPI) measurements of thermospheric zonal neutral winds at Arequipa, Peru (16:7 β’ S; 71:5 β’ W; -2:7 β’ dip), and Carmen Alto, Chile (23:1 β’ S; 69:4 β’ W; -10:2 β’ dip), were collected during the solar minimum periods of September-October 1996 and 1997. The data set included
## Abstract Lowβlatitude wind and pressure data are used to determine the mean departure of the actual wind speed from the geostrophic speed. The computed departure becomes progressively greater equatorward of 30Β°N and attains a magnitude of about 10 m/sec at 10Β°N.
